Policy concerning use of film equipment in Obstetrics Ramsay Health Care (RHC) recognises that unique and special moments arise in hospitals that patients, families and friends may wish to capture on film. RHC needs to ensure that patient safety, clinical teamwork, the privacy of other patients’, staff members and medical personal are not compromised. Devices that record both film and sound are not allowed in the following clinical areas: • Operating Theatre • Birthing Suites • Special Care and Well Baby nurseries. Single shot devices that do not record sound are permissible by the agreement of the care team members present at the time. Film and sound may be recorded in the privacy of a patient’s own room, provided the privacy of other patients and staff members is not compromised. Helpful Hints Important Information Info to note iPod docking stations are available in our Birthing Suites and Maternity Ward.
